ARTHUR RACKHAM: Arthur Rackham illustrated many fairytale books and most famously, the Grimm tales. I like the silhouette imagery and the simplicity of these drawings.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO: I am inspired by the mix of fantasy and fact in Guillermo del Toro's films and how he portrays real life monsters and monstrosities through dark and twisted characters and stories.
FRANCIS BACON: I love the distorted, grotesque and nightmarish feel of this painting. I am interested in the way Bacon has reinterpreted a former piece of art, much in the same way i want to reappropriate and disfigure images from the media etc. It is bold abstract and surreal and i like the use of colour with the vivid purple.
JONATHAN BARNBROOK: I want my FMP to fit with Barnbrook's message that design should be a force for cultural change and should filter into the reader's consciousness.
KERSTIN KARTSCHER: I like the figurative drawing style of Kartscher, the thin lines and muted palette and the dark and intriguiging feel her work has.
MARIANNE BRANDT: Bauhaus photomontage was created as a play between the artist and mass media and was often used as a critical commentary on politics and public welfare. The use of collage with images from the media and old books in my project will reflect this inspiration. I like the use of blank space in Marianne's work and the superreality she creates.
MM PARIS: I love the illustration style in this campaign for Balenciaga and the way it is overlaid over photography.
MAN RAY: I am inspired by the sensuous photos of Man Ray and his surrealist vision of the female form. I like the cropping in this image which just isolates the lips.
EGON SCHIELE: I like this Schiele piece with its thin lines and jaunty figure of the nude.
